One of my favorite salads combines thiny sliced, rare steak, homemade toasted croutons, red onion slices, and orange slices over mixed lettuce and dressed with homemade poppy seed dressing. This is an easy and delicious poppy seed dressing recipe. You can make it with a hand held blender in the container provided or use a blender such as the Vitamix to turn this into a great dressing! This dressing is also wonderful over mixed fruit!
1 cup Canola oil (Canola oil stands for Canadian Oil less acid and is not a real plant)
1/2 cup sugar (I like turbinado sugar but you can use white sugar)
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard (Coleman’s or other powdered mustard)
Blend all ingredients except poppy seeds. Once everything is incorporated, add the poppy seeds and blend until everything is completely mixed. The dressing will be thick. This will store well in a tightly covered jar in the refrigerator.
Do not substitute olive oil for this recipe!
